Can you spot the flags?

Took this photo in the morning but the cloud was quite heavy, it was raining heavily somewhere else.

Photo Hunt: Creamy

June 20th, 2009 · 9 Comments

Durian, it can be your love or your hate. It is the king of the fruit. The smell, those that don’t like will say that it smells like rubbish; those who like will say that it smells heavenly and sweet. The texture is creamy.

I used to like it a lot but lately not so, I will eat some but not too much because the smell can linger on you for quite a long time. It’s not a good idea to eat this before you have an important appointment ;p

Here’s more from wiki:

The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive. The smell evokes reactions from deep appreciation to intense disgust. The odour has led to the fruit’s banishment from certain hotels and public transportation in southeast Asia.

The durian, native to Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia, has been known to the Western world for about 600 years. The 19th-century British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace famously described its flesh as “a rich custard highly flavoured with almonds”. The flesh can be consumed at various stages of ripeness, and is used to flavour a wide variety of savoury and sweet edibles in Southeast Asian cuisines. The seeds can also be eaten when cooked.

Clubbers in Kuching dancing to the very loud music during the launch of Breeze Magazine at Victoria Arms, Merdeka Palace.

The place was so crowded and also noisy not only because of the people but also the music.

Acrobatic performance by Zunyi Acrobatics Troupe from China. They locked themselves and made a turn while the plates were still spinning steadily on the sticks. Very interesting performance.

This is the first time I shoot an event with a DSLR without supervision ;p

This is a replica watch that my brother bought. It doesn’t require the use of battery. I’m quite fascinated with the designs of the watch surface. I’m sure it costs a lot if it’s real.

I’m sure Bob the Builder and Thomas & Friends are very popular among the children. Besides the TV shows, they also have the books. Do you buy such books for your children?
